Some shelter cats often face challenges in finding a forever home due to various reasons, such as age, medical issues, or simply being overlooked. Adopting these cats that have been rejected multiple times by other adopters is a heartwarming choice for several reasons.
It is the best thing to do because not only are they given a chance, but you’re also providing a loving home to a cat that might have otherwise spent a significant amount of time in a shelter.
In this heartwarming story of compassion and acceptance, a rescue kitten named Charlie with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. With the odds against him, he has a very low chance of getting adopted until his fate changes.
Meet Charlie
Along with his litter mates, Charlie was found under a deck and was rescued. He is a natural charmer and an amazing kitten too. However, he was a cat with special needs and it might be a bit difficult to give him all the care he deserves.
And so, despite his charming personality, Charles found himself repeatedly overlooked by potential adopters who hesitated due to his health problems.
His condition known as wobbly cat syndrome or cerebellar Hypoplasia, causes him to wobble uncontrollably due to a defect in his brain. Thankfully a kindhearted woman who, upon meeting Charles, saw beyond his condition.
Determined to give him a chance at a loving home, she decided to foster him until the right forever family came along. But first things first, Charlie was taken to the vet for a medical examination and it was found out that he had bacteria in his intestines. And so he was given treatment accordingly.
Although it took quite a few months to be completely rid of all other health issues, Charlie proved his strength and resilience to overcome all the challenges. With his wobbly and unsteady movements, he quickly found solace and comfort in the care of this compassionate woman named Mandy.
From Foster Home To Forever Home
As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Charles not only found a foster home but also a foster family. The woman and her husband, who initially opened their hearts and home to Charles temporarily, discovered an unbreakable bond forming.
Charles, with his endearing spirit, and playful and fun-loving spirit, won over their hearts. In all he does, he seems to be unaware and clueless about him being amazingly different from most cats.
He innocently runs into walls but that doesn’t hinder his spirit or stop him trying to have his fun. Charlie has the ability to tell when his human is sad or upset, and he is ever ready to give his support just so she can be happy again.
Falling deeply in love with this special cat, Mandy, and her husband decided to make their foster arrangement permanent. Charlie, in his new forever home, continues to be himself because he knows for sure that love and acceptance live in his home.
His playful interactions and friendly demeanor brought joy not only to his adoptive parents but also to his new adopted brother with a neurological disorder and showed similar symptoms to Charlie’s.
A sweet kitten Charlie really is, as his presence continues to create a harmonious and loving haven with a truckload of joy and laughter for everyone.
